Motorolla V3

Is it any good?
The mrs wants a new phone (Orange pay monthly) & she's set her heart on this one. But before I upgrade it for her is there a better flip for the money chaps?

Opinions seem to be mixed on this phone. Most people love the design, but hate the software. Motorola really seems to be having problems producing stable software at the moment. My friend has had a V600, V3 and V80 as his last three phones and they've all had problems with crashing and random resets. I guess some people never learn though.

Have a good play with it before you buy, IMO.

Samsung D500 if you can get hold of one

D500 is a sexy beast, 1.3MPix camera too ! feck its almost as good as my digital camera :|

the V3 razor is sexy looking but ive also heard about the old clunky and unstable software, apprently its very similar to the software on a V600, just, in a better shell

Orange dont do the D500 on monthly/upgrade options

New shortlist:
Orange SPV C500
SE K700i
Samsung E800

Wimmin! bah, if making your mind up was a sport....

V3 is a nice concept phone or design object wouldn't actually want to use one day to day. The keypad feels horrible to me, the little metal edges felt bad.

I'd say the C500 is more masculine, K700i neutral and E800 feminine. All are our nice in my opinion and if she doesn't like it could you send me it
The K700i is the same size as my T68i if that helps.
